Skype standalone offline installer

 Software installers which download data from servers to complete installation are an irritating, albeit upcoming trend. Yahoo Messenger, Skype, Google Chrome (I noticed it when reviewing Google Chrome) etc. are some of the programs which require you to be online while installing the program.
They typically have an installer file under 1 MB, which then download files to complete installation. While this might not be a problem for broadband users, dialup users and others with poor connectivity would benefit from an offline installer that you could get from a nearby web browsing center (in your USB drive, for example).



Using this also allows you to install Skype on multiple computers without having to download the online Skype setup file multiple times – saving bandwidth.
Skype has a standalone installer (which works even if you are offline).
